Rotex XR
Rear-mounted disc mower with chevron roller conditioner.
Range of rear mower-conditioners intended for intensive farming for mowing and conditioning fodder on medium and large areas.
The contained weight and the perfect balance of the bar make the Rotex XR applicable to all tractors as well as in combination with front-mounted mowers.
R | Roller conditioner
Thanks to the roller conditioner that operates across the entire cutting width, the grass is crushed, without however losing the nutrient-rich leaves, and deposited on the ground forming a large and well-ventilated heap.
This process reduces drying time by up to 50% to the advantage of the quality of the fodder and the lower risk of exposure to bad weather.

Structure.
- Three-point hitch frame: the fixed frame is adjusted by means of lower cat. 2 and 3 pins used to adjust the cutter bar with respect to the tractor wheel or the overlap when working in combination with a front-mounted mower. The new fixed frame gives greater stability and robustness.
- Impact-preventing safety unlock device to avoid any damage: in case of strong bumps against an obstacle, the device partially retracts and lifts the cutter bar.
Lightening.
Balancing and lightening of the cutter bar occur through a system of strong helical springs and tie-rods.
In this way the cutter bar can perfectly adapt to the ground contour.
Advantages:
- Less friction resulting in fuel saving.
- Regular cutting height.
- Always clean and non-contaminated fodder.
- Protection of the turf.
Hydraulic lifting.
Cutting unit.
- Gearbox, with gears in an oil bath: made from spheroidal graphite cast iron to ensure maximum resistance to stress both during work and transfer.
- Oil bath gear transmission: the sealed ball bearings and the large gears achieve an efficient power transmission to cutting discs.
- Discs: with cleaning flaps ensure a constantly clean cutter bar.
- Conveyor cones: mounted on the first and last disc provide a better flow of the cut fodder towards the conditioner.
Protection.
- Disc-holding flanges: with safety pins to protect internal parts in case of strong bumps of the discs against stones or obstacles.
- Baffles in the knife overlap zones: to protect the bar should a blade bend upon contact with an obstacle.
- Wear-resistant skids: to favour lower resistance to inching and guarantee a long life of the cutter bar.
Conditioning unit.
- Roller conditioner: made of polyurethane, lightweight with high abrasion resistance.
- Chevron ribbing: allows the two rollers to work in an interlocking fashion, flattening the plant’s stalk to allow rapid drying.
- Upper swing roller: to protect the conditioner and keep it intact in the presence of foreign bodies.
- Conditioning pressure: adjustable with the possibility of inhibition.
